Hello, everyone! I'm theladyrose, and I'm taking the Man from UNCLE van out for a spin this June.

Fandom: THE MAN FROM UNCLE

Why this must be read:

I have a soft spot for stories exploring our spy guys through the perspective of other UNCLE HQ staffers, and this piece is fast becoming a favorite of mine in this vein. akane42me has a gift for bringing out the humanity of our cool, battleworn heroes without seeming in the least cliché or melodramatic. Al might be one of the best damn OCs I've read to date, his deceptively simple voice belying a sharp eye and a humble sympathy. Her visceral portrayal of pain and how hotshot enforcement agents like Napoleon as well as the rest of we mere mortals process and cope with it will leave you breathless.

If your heart doesn't ache after reading this piece, then you might not have one.

Thanks! I've been meaning to rec one of akane42me's stories for ages, but when I saw this piece I knew this would be perfect.
